Cabin Brewing Company Max Sat Juicy Hazy IPA – American IPA at 8.7% ABV (C$6.25 at Collective, 568 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 29-Apr-2026, reviewed 4-May-2026)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of fine pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration slightly warming finish. (4/5)
Talus, Dolcita, Citra. I think the original Max Sat was the NZ version, which I found just slightly harsh. This one has a higher ABV, yet is completely missing the slight edge of its predecessor. They’re also raising the bar on how high an ABV can go before it’s a “Double”, since unlike e.g. Giga Saturation, they don’t call this a Double even though it’s only 0.4% short of that one’s ABV. Easy-drinking and fairly dangerous. (16/20)
This will be my 6,394th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
